Temporary File Sharing — Nothing Stored, Ever
Other services store your files on their servers and promise to delete them later. Pinky swear. Our version of 'temporary': your files never exist on any server in the first place. Can't leak what you never had.

How It Works
Your Device
Sender
Their Device
Recipient
No server in the middle. Files stream directly between browsers using WebRTC.
Create Session
Start an ephemeral session. It exists only while you need it.
Transfer Directly
Files stream between devices via P2P. Nothing is stored on any server.
Session Ends
When you're done, the session disappears. No files remain anywhere.
The Ultimate Temporary Transfer
Temporary by Default
P2P transfers are inherently temporary. Files stream between devices in real time. When the session ends, the transfer is over. No server copy lingers.
No Trust Required
Self-destruct features on cloud services require you to trust that the server actually deletes your file. P2P requires no trust — the file was never on a server to begin with.
No Link to Expire
Cloud services give you a link that expires in 3-7 days. We give you a session code that works while both people are connected. Session over = data gone. Nothing to expire.
No Metadata Left Behind
File names, sizes, and contents are never stored on our servers. Connection metadata is minimal and contains nothing about what was transferred.
Perkoon P2P vs Self-Destructing File Services
| Aspect | Perkoon P2P | Self-Destruct Services |
|---|---|---|
| Files stored? | Never (P2P direct) | Temporarily on server |
| Deletion method | Nothing to delete | Server deletes after download/timer |
| Trust required | None — files never on server | Trust provider to actually delete |
| Size limit | None | Usually capped |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send to someone who's not online right now?
Yes — hit send and the transfer queues. When the receiver joins, it fires automatically. Your tab stays open. For true fire-and-forget (close your laptop, send a link), use cloud storage with configurable expiry.
How temporary is it?
Files exist on exactly two devices: the sender's and the receiver's. Nothing on any server. When the session ends, there's nothing to clean up because there was nothing to store.
What's the difference from WeTransfer?
WeTransfer uploads to their servers and gives you a link. P2P skips the server entirely — direct handoff. One is distribution, the other is a handshake.
File size limits?
None. Tested to 500GB+ in Chrome. No server = no cap.
Transfer and Leave No Trace
Nothing stored. Nothing to delete. Nothing to leak.
